Goodness, both of them are adorable!! However they get so big compared to these little guys!! I'd really have to set up a good sized tank.... I mean my husband has to let me keep them right, poor little things are lost and alone and so cold up here hahaha!

We have only gotten a couple green anole, it's always the brown anole, once it's Monday I'm going to see if the other person has ever caught a house gecko. We've also gotten gray treefrogs, which are able to live all the way north up to southern Canada so should be able to survive a New England...

I check for eggs with the intent to crush/freeze if the snails decide to try to take over, I'll protect the existing life I've found but am not about letting them bring more life in. Plus I've heard it's somewhat a cruelty to let the snails in captivity hatch out because they reproduce in...

It's truly the best job ever just being on the road all day visiting offices and malls and hospitals and taking care of their plants. I WAS doing Boston buildings for a couple years and saw so many cool things, but an enjoying my change of pace... And commute... far away from the city now.

If all of these hatchlings have the will to survive (my first and former made it just over the year mark before he had been missing long enough for me to search and find him gone under a leaf) I figure I have the space in pretty sure for another 40 gal breeder, load it full of plants and hiding...

The growers regularly send up plants with mealybug and scale infestations I would trust them to stop reptilian hitchhikers either. The slightly larger anole I just caught in one of my accounts I'm pretty sure was in fact surviving off of the mealybug I'm trying to control in the planter he was...

So, I take care of plants for my job. Lots of plants. I live in nice and cold wintered New England. It is frequent even more now than ever before, that the plants can come up from the Florida growers with stowaways. And well... I've already got the tortoise, corn snake and leopard gecko, so...

I do still have him, it’s snowing out right now here in MA. Saturday will be rainy but mild, then the rest of the week next week looks like the lows are above freezing every night so a good amount of time for him to find a new communal to take the winter nap with before it gets cold cold again.

I wish the app still existed to be more mobile friendly, it Sitting on my phones Home Screen staring at me reminded me to come chat back in the day.

Why… helloooooo everyone. I haven’t checked in in a while. Hope all is well.

He immediately got to the little water dish once in the tank and drank for a good while. I actually had an old water bottle cap in my truck right after finding it and poured a little water and held him up still stuck to it and despite the whole situation he drank then. I’m sure he does...

Now imagine that smell inside a very small bathroom mixed with coconut oil. I was sitting there thinking “huh, the coconut oil smells REALLY gross, isn’t it usually more coconuty and less blah?” Then when I went to show the freed snake to the boyfriend he pointed out that it’s vent was open and...

The boyfriend is totally accepting of “it’s your pet now isn’t it?” But I mean I know my Russian tort Franklin was a wild caught pet store tortoise and he had a rough go of it in the beginning. It’s not like I handle my reptiles much, Franklin HATES being touched, the corn snake is ok with it...

Hi guys, it’s been a while since I’ve been a regular here. Anyway I’ll get right down to business, long story short I work in pest control, glueboards are used and I caught my first “oops” on one inside one of my high security buildings. A little garter snake. Brought him home and unstuck him...

Mine is the exact same!! He finds bugs then screams at them until I come remove them. And he’s got a set of lungs on him!
